EVICT
the evict operation removes one or more documents from the local ditto store, deleting them entirely without flagging ( tombstone ) as deleted to remote peers dql evict from your collection name where \[condition] in this syntax your collection name is the name of the collection from which you want to retrieve the data \[condition] represents the condition or criteria that determine which documents should be evicted from the local peer examples deleting documents here, documents from the cars collection that have the document id 123 get removed from the ditto store dql evict from cars where id = '123' as another example, the following snippet, once executed, results in the deletion of documents with timestamps greater than a certain value dql evict from cars where some time stamp > 1699888298000 removing fields from documents to remove a specific field from a document, use an update update statement to tombstone that field a tombstone is a flag signaling to remote peers that the dql data type has been removed see docid 92 yx2evbkxxswnl09oyp removing data from big peer evict is not currently available for the big peer, although it's in development to learn more about removing data from your big peer instance, see docid\ jmhbyt6shuvf5rk8qgumv developing an eviction strategy removing data from a distributed database is a difficult problem, and memory management requires careful consideration of both subscriptions and evictions to learn more about our recommended strategies, see docid 2ixfv6yfqikjrobx0cujd
